Reduce scope 2 emissions footprint

Last updated 20 May 2025

Businesses and individuals can also choose to voluntarily purchase and surrender the renewable energy certificates (RECs) to reduce their scope 2 or indirect emissions footprint.

By surrendering RECs, an entity claims the renewable attribute of the electricity generated. This process is often part of a broader strategy for organisations to meet renewable energy targets or carbon neutrality goals.
